744 boxes

In other words, the cookies are here!  We picked them up Thursday night after the Girl Scout meeting and Kelsey and her friends quickly loaded all 717 boxes (27 boxes were donated and thus went straight to the recipients).  It was so much fun to watch them eagerly and happily load up all of the cars.

 

Then, of course, we had to UNload at home, so that we can sort and ship out cookies to 5 states and more than 20 countries.  The Little Guy put himself to work and shlepped in at least 10 boxes on his own. We are now in the process of sorting, delivering locally and packing up those cases that will go overseas. Only 697 boxes actually made it into the house, as 20 were delivered that very evening, so they could taken overseas the next day as a special treat from the States.

 

 

Now, back to the sorting, packing and shipping!  On the off-chance anyone wanted to order cookies and missed out on the first go-round, just send a note, as there may still be a few boxes available.  And if cookies are the on the way to you, thank you and enjoy!
